Description
For sale is an 1883 "No Cents" Liberty "V" Nickel. The Liberty "V" Nickel ran from 1883 to 1912 before being replaced by the Buffalo Nickel. 1883 was the very first mint year of the Liberty Nickel and there were two varieties minted: the "no cents" variety and the "with cents" variety. This first version of the coin did not have the word "cents" anywhere on the coin. Because the coin didn't say "Five Cents" anywhere on the coin people would coat the coins with gold and pass them off as $ 5.00 gold coins. To remedy this the mint created a second version of the coin which added the word "cents" on the reverse. These are always historic coins to have, but when you find them in nice grades like this it always takes them up a notch. As you can see from the pics the coin is in great shape, and it would come in at a very nice VF grade. All the details on the coin are nice and sharp, including every letter of LIBERTY on the obverse, which is the first thing to wear down on these coins. The coin has no major damage and has not been cleaned. This is a great key date coin with great history behind it. Please feel free to email me with questions or interest. Thanks!
